  The free and accepted Masons of Wisconsin Lodge #279 of Merrillan, presented a Greenport portable fire suppression tool to the Merrillan Fire and Rescue team. 

   Greenport portable fire suppression tools are small devices that fit in the trunk of squad cars, ambulances or other first responder vehicles, and can dramatically reduce fire and water damage in enclosures like houses, garages, stores or sheds. They are lightweight and easy to deploy. Within 35 seconds, the fire is suppressed, and the temperature inside the enclosure will drop over 1,000 degrees; making it a safer environment to extract trapped firefighters or citizens.
